Goldsmiths is all about the
freedom to experiment, to think differently, to be an individual.
Founded in 1891, the College brings creative and unconventional
approaches to all of its subjects, always based on the highest
academic standards of teaching and research. From undergraduate
and postgraduate programmes to part-time and professional courses,
Goldsmiths has an excellent range of innovative study opportunities,
with the visual and performing arts departments being especially
renowned. No fewer than five of its graduates, including Damien
Hirst, have gone on to win the prestigious Turner Prize.
The Department of English and
Comparative Literature (external link) contributes significantly
to the cultural 'buzz' that characterises Goldsmiths. It draws
on the energies and high standards of some 30 staff who combine
a core of modern specialisms with coverage of literature down
the centuries. This gives you an opportunity to explore a wide
range of study areas - from traditional to contemporary - to
suit your emerging interests.
